Subject: Remove run-time dependency on setuptools
https://github.com/thumbor/thumbor/pull/1699 added a run-time dependency
on `setuptools` with the rationale that Python 3.12 removed it from the
default dependencies. That would make sense if thumbor needed
`setuptools` at run-time. However, thumbor doesn't use `setuptools` at
run-time (or anything else shipped with it, such as `distutils` or
`pkg_resources`).
Of course `setuptools` is needed to run `setup.py` itself, but a
dependency expressed in `install_requires` has never done anything to
achieve that because `setuptools` has to be present in order to process
that dependency.
It therefore seems to make most sense to simply drop this dependency.
I suspect this may have been related to #1692. While I don't have an
easy way to test this locally, a modern `pip` should use
`pyproject.toml` and should therefore install `setuptools` as a result
of the `build-system.requires` setting that's already there (which is
the correct way to express this build-time dependency). However, if
that still doesn't work for some reason, then adding something like `pip
install setuptools` before `pip install -e.[tests]` would be a better
way to work around it.
